At the end of his contract with AC Milan in June, Olivier Giroud does not know which club he will play for next season. However, he knows where he will live after his career.

At thirty-seven years old, Olivier Giroud is reaching the end of his career as a professional footballer. If he should continue the adventure next season, the one who currently wears the AC Milan jersey does not know for which club he will play, his contract with the Rossoneri coming to an end next June. Having played in Ligue 1, the Premier League and Serie A, the international center forward could be tempted by a freelance career with the American Major League Soccer, and more particularly with Los Angeles FC, the club that Hugo joined Lloris a few months ago. In the meantime, Olivier Giroud knows where he will return once his crampons are put away.

In front of the cameras Canal+, the top scorer in the history of the France team answered a few questions about his career, his tastes and his non-sporting life. One of them focused on his post-career: “ In which country do you see your sports retirement? » Without much hesitation, Olivier Giroud replied: “ To be honest with you, I found a base in London, a city that is very dear to me, where all my children were born. I have a lot of ties there, a lot of friends, a lot of (habits). It's a city that I would like long after my career. »

The Euro first

The English capital is obviously a city that the former Montpellier native knows perfectly well, having spent almost a decade there (nine years to be exact), when he played for Arsenal between 2012 and 2018, then for Chelsea from 2018 to 2021. Although he has adapted perfectly and very quickly to his new life in Milan, Olivier Giroud is therefore determined to return to continue his life under the slightly grayer skies of England.

But before that, the native of Chambéry still has many sporting objectives, the most important being this famous Euro 2024 which is just around the corner and which will take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14. This unique trophy which is missing from Olivier Giroud's window obsesses him and he is determined to win it, as he also confided: “ Yes, I hope so. In any case we will do everything for it. »
